Foglight on without turning on headlight

Postby arrdode » Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:10 am

Tried searching but couldn't find it in this forum.

Has anyone tried this?

Can this be achieved on a 08 Pathfinder?

my 08 came with that option stock.

the foglight switch works independently of lo/hi beam.

Well, my switch works independently too. But in order for my foglight to be on, the low beam must be on. Any idea to use just to foglight for cloudy days?

I've done a similar mod on my Lightning. It required trimming out a plastic piece on the switch, which was located in the dash. The piece served as a lockout behind the knob.

With the light switch being in the turn signal cluster, I was hesitant about getting into it. I'm sure there's a way to achieve it by running a jumper to the fog lamp switch, but that's beyond me. I imagine someone here can figure it out.

I'd love to do this mod, but I'm afraid since the fog relay and all associated circuitry with the lights are integrated into the fabled integrated power distribution module (IPDM). I am thinking of just bypassing the factory wiring, and installing a seperate switch/relay off the park lights to turn the fogs on/off.
